Immediately After Surgery
  • Bandages applied to the face and neck; small drains may be placed to prevent fluid buildup.

  • Face may feel tight, swollen, and tender.

  • Pain is typically mild to moderate and managed with medication.
  • Swelling and bruising peak within 48–72 hours, then gradually decrease.

  • Keep head elevated at all times to minimize swelling.

  • Bruising fades significantly.

  • Most patients feel comfortable returning to public activities around week 2 (with makeup if desired).

  • Some tightness, numbness, or tingling may persist — this is part of normal nerve recovery.

  • Nerves and tissues finish healing.

  • Scars blend naturally with skin folds and hairlines.
